"Newcomer-2011. Summer"

25.08.2011 CryptoNight (red Castle, Valeska, Clavius) def Tomash (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Tamika) Balance 212

confirmed

first week nothing special, 1-6 in the castle, skeletons are piling up.
Tamika Necromancer also came for Rampart, and in previous generations Isra and Vidomina came, so the lineup for Necromancers had been set long ago. then even a second Necromancer, Vokial, came, whom I ran through the upgrade buildings and maxed out Necromancy without fighting a single battle. that's what undermined me, I decided I'd clear like a governor and necromance with two heroes, gave the noob Necro an army, and without checking, I went into a maxed Naga bank on 124 with a greased stack :smile35: almost 100 skeletons, 6 horses, 9 wood elves, 40 dwarves stayed there, basically almost all the meat, I crawled out with 14 elves and 20 centaurs, and about 80 skeletons left

but on my respawn there turned out to be as many as 4 external dwellings of Dwarves, and, initially not giving it much thought, left without an army - I decided to build a stack out of them, bought them up the second week, upgraded them in the castle, plus they accumulated in the village, eventually on 131 I had 90+ Dwarves, who almost solo took me the Griffon Conservatory duo, then I also took the Griffon Conservatory 3, and the opponent crawled out of the metro and stopped on the way from the main, I realize I won't make it in time to defend, I dive into the Naga bank with 5 Angels and 60 Dwarves to buy all the growth, again maximum - all the Dwarves stay there, the Angels, though on 5 HP, all survived. but I bought everything, the opponent holed up in my castle, I take another Griffon Conservatory 2, go home with 7 Angels. the opponent runs out of the castle, having bought horses and elves, I take the castle with Angels without losses - upgrade and again gather Dwarves from all places, 60+ growth per week is a joy to behold. the 4th week goes by in fights of junk heroes, the opponent has few heroes, I sacrifice several more to him, pretending to fight for the Necromancer castle, meanwhile I scouted the exit to the treasure zone and stand before the main enemy for a speed boost at the start of the next week, I clear another Naga bank along the way, which again turned out to be maximum, but 7 Angels and single Pixies handle it easily.

I place and DO NOT BUY the Dragons.

211

week of the PLAGUE.

well that was just the end, not only did I not buy elves after the 3rd week, due to losing the main, I lost almost 100 Dwarves, 3 Dragons, and all the rest of the growth in the castle and village, while the opponent only had 1-6 in the Citadel, so the blow to him was weaker... my advantage in buildings and economy went up in smoke, having almost 20k gold, there was simply nowhere to spend it....

on 211 with the army of the 3rd week and 7 Angels I break through to the center, but the opponent follows, he has Pathfinding, catches up, 750 skeletons and mass Slow against my advanced Earth and advanced Air, I wanted both, in the end I maxed out neither :( ... the arrow on 220 didn't save me, there was no mass Haste, GG WP

a great game turned out in the end
